The Motorist Choice Awards

The Motorist Choice Awards

The Motorist Choice Awards for model year 2007 have
chosen Toyota and GM as the year’s best vehicles,
bringing good news to automotive executives.

The Motorist Choice Awards are conducted by PRIMEDIA’s
IntelliChoice.com and AutoPacific. The Motorist Choice
Awards recognize the vehicles that delivered both the
highest customer satisfaction and the lowest cost of
ownership.

Toyota scored winners in eight segments, including the
overall winner – Lexus LS – while GM followed
in second with five segment winners, including the Cadillac
DTS and GMC Yukon XL.

“This year’s roster of winners earned their
place by challenging vehicles often recognized for their
quality and value,” said James Bell, publisher
of IntelliChoice.com.

“While Japanese manufacturers garnered a majority
of the 25 vehicle segments, the 2007 Cadillac DTS checked
in as the top overall large luxury car. GM also showed
well by scoring top honors in both the large light-duty
and heavy-duty truck segments with the Chevrolet Silverado,” he
said.
